He might want to go to another team, but no team is going to sign this crazy.
Kings suspend Cousins indefinitely for 'unprofessional behavior'
By Ben Golliver
Kings center DeMarcus Cousins earned his third suspension of the 2012-13 season on Saturday, but this time it was his team, and not the NBA league office, doling out the punishment.
Sacramento GM Geoff Petrie announced in a statement that Cousins has been suspended indefinitely for "unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team."
USA Today Sports reports that the suspension stems from an argument between Cousins and coach Keith Smart during the Kings' 97-85 loss to the Clippers on Friday night.
The third-year big man had a verbal altercation with coach Keith Smart during halftime of the Kings' loss at the Clippers on Friday and was left in the locker room for the entire second half as a result. Two people with knowledge of the incident told USA TODAY Sports that nothing of a physical nature occurred between Cousins and his coach and that the yelling went back and forth between both men. Cousins, according to one of the people, used extensive profanity while sharing his latest frustrations.
The Sacramento Bee reported further details.
"It's not something that just showed up yesterday, last year or two years ago or five years ago," [Petrie] said. "But he's our player so we want to work with him to get past this so he can be what everyone sees is possible."
Cousins has alienated teammates with his verbal tirades to the point players give him the ball rather than feel his wrath.
It's not yet known how many games Cousins will miss during this suspension. The Kings have three games on the schedule for this upcoming week: they the Blazers on Sunday, visit Portland on Wednesday, and then host the Knicks on Friday.
Earlier this week, it was reported that members of the Kings were growing frustrated with Smart. The Point Forward's Rob Mahoney explored the dissatisfaction here.
Cousins was previously suspended two games by the NBA in November for a post-game verbal confrontation with Spurs color commentator Sean Elliott. Earlier this month, he earned a one-game suspension for a low-blow on Mavericks guard O.J. Mayo.
During his career with the Kings, Cousins has been benched for flashing a "choking" sign to an opponent; thrown off the team plane after a dispute with a teammate; and fined by the organization for undisclosed reasons. He also reportedly argued with former coach Paul Westphal, which led to rumors of a possible trade request. Over the summer, Cousins participated in USA Basketball's Select training program. Chairman Jerry Colangelo told reporters in July that Cousins "has some growing up to do" and that he "needs to mature as a person." He also recently claimed that an NBA referee cursed at him during an on-court exchange.
Cousins, 22, is averaging 16.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He is making $3.9 million.
I used to play against demarcus cousins in high school and told me he was going to stab me in the parking lot. Other than that he was pretty nice.
Cousins had issues of a psychological nature long before he even arrived in Lexington. With Ryan Freel's death might it not be time to see mental illness in athletes as more than the price you pay for drafting the physical gifts? I get that with fantasy sports that players are meat but doesn't something human emerge that makes us not want to see them die or murder or murder and die?
...just another classic "character guy" from Lexington.
this is one reason why I can't stand the NBA sometimes
Will he ever mature? Shouldn't he have started learning from his mistakes by now?
He clearly wants out of that team.
He is just too much of a headache for 16 and 9. Thank goodness for the rookie pay scale, maybe somebody else will want to gamble with him.
This big baby needs a slap.
@Michael E is this really just in the NBA? do we remember randy moss...even barry bonds...and there are some oddball NHLers out there...like sean avery...so its not just the NBA.

Trapped in the web?
It's difficult to feel anything but revulsion when pondering the case of former ABC Collectors host Andy Muirhead's dramatic and public fall from grace. As Kate Legge noted in her lengthy piece in The Weekend Australian Magazine 'Child pornography sickens to the core'.
Despite his defence arguments to the contrary, this week in Hobart Chief Justice Ewan Crawford told the Tasmanian Supreme Court he was satisfied the 36-year-old entertainer had a "sexual interest" in the 12,433 still and video images, some including sadism or humiliation.
In the case of Muirhead, we now know he downloaded thousands of images of innocent children.
The police certainly helped chip away at the massive global audience for this material. One hopes that by catching those who contribute to creating the demand for these images, innocent victims might be spared such abuse in the future.
The issue that has been raised in Muirhead's defence is that he actually had no interest in children as sex objects, but was driven by a self destructive urge and curiosity.
The line of defence deserves some further consideration. While certainly not excusing the act of repeatedly downloading such material, there are questions here that deserve answers. My first question is: What are the future human implications of an increasingly ubiquitous internet that has provided us with such a dangerous tool that is becoming easier and easier to misuse?
When such material is available through a simple Google image search with key words, or pressing a link on a file-sharing network - can we be said to be guilty of committing a heinous crime or, as Muirhead argued, has the net become a place where vulnerable people will inevitably become victims of destructive human curiosity?
And if, as appears to be the case with Muirhead, someone is possessed by a self-destructive impulse and find themselves alone with nothing but a computer for company, shouldn't society be setting up some kind of mechanisms for getting help to these people before they damage themselves and contribute to an evil online human commerce?
Yes, there must be a vital point where a line is crossed when the user agrees to download illegal material for which they should be held accountable for there actions. But we are never given any guidance or training in how to manage the awesome power for good or evil encapsulated on the web.
We are essentially left to our own devices every time we boot up our web browser, and no consideration or filter is available to determine the user's mental state or propensity for self-destruction.
In a less extreme but none-the-less relevant case, US Senator Anthony Weiner last year fell into disgrace after emailing crude photos of his nether-regions to his thousands of followers on Twitter. It appears he was more interested in juvenile ego stroking via the web than actually meeting up with anyone for sex. He let the term 'followers' on Twitter go to his head and attached a sexual dimension to the descriptor.
Apart from appallingly bad judgment, his mistake was to press 'reply to all' rather than just 'reply' to one sender on Twitter resulting in thousands of unsuspecting users getting to see much more of their spritely Senator than they might have wished. Ouch!
For those of us living and working immersed in a period of almost overwhelming transformation in the way we work and communicate online, it is difficult not to feel a twinge of empathy for those ensnared in the darkest corners of the web, or facing the public humiliation of an ill-conceived key-stroke.
There is a massive and widening maw that exists between what we can now all access 24 hours a day from the privacy of our own computers, and a thorough understanding of the dangers and risks involved. I think it is time government regulators and educators stepped up their efforts to at least give people the tools to make wise decisions online before more lives are ruined by moments of bad judgment and online transgression.
Our decisions online affect real people, often innocent people caught in a vile corner of online commerce based on profiting from the vulnerability or criminal servitude of others. The sparkling veneer of an online free-for-all from which we are camouflaged within our own privacy bubbles must continue to be popped by international police, but it must also be tackled more strenuously by online educators to connect these dots in the minds of users before they cross that threshold and find themselves in virtual hell.
The German philosopher Rudolf Steiner once presciently wrote a bleak vision for the future in which he described a 'web' that would be designed to connect humans - but would ultimately come to suffocate us like a spider's web. It is something that Andy Muirhead might reflect on as he serves out the rest of his ten-month prison term sifting through his guilt and shame, and attempts to restore some semblance of light and normality to his life.

Unbelievable. The government has to step in to help people make wise decisions. How about people take responsibility for their own decisions, wise or not? By the time you hit adulthood, you are a literate, sentient human being with the capacity to know right from wrong. You may still be on L plates when it comes to decision making, but it is not the government's job to sit in the back seat and guide you through the highways and byways of life. It's your job, and no one else's.
Sickemrex says:
Are you the same James Norman that was whingeing a few months ago about retinal scanners, CCTV and ID records in nightclubs? And now wants more government regulation regarding internet use?
I find it hard to feel a twinge of empathy for someone committing a crime. It's not like he Googled "sunshine and butterflies" and accidentally downloaded child porn. Thousands of times.
Where's the personal responsibility here? If you're not sure if you're about to do something illegal on the internet, you're in front of a very useful instrument to find out.
Wrong "there" paragraph 9.

ICB. The sparkly, vampire type….
seniorcynic says:
I thought it ironic that Andy Muirhead compered "The Collectors" when he had his own collection at home which he was not going to show.
Mahhrat says:
The internet is inherently wild. It cannot be tamed and will not be tamed. It will test our morality in ways you can't even consider.
Here's an easy one for you. Bioshock. In this game, you have the opportunity of saving a young (about 8) girl's life, or deliberately and cold-bloodedly killing her. Either decision has effects on how your game plays out.
Lets go forward 40 years. We now have interaction on a level not unlike the Matrix, where computer responses are so good you can be forgiven for not knowing whether who you're enjoying cybersex with is real or fake.
What if that AI is in the form of a 6 year old girl? No child is harmed - is it still wrong? What about if it's a real person but their online Avatar is a child? There's a consenting adult on the other side of the 'net; is that still wrong?
(I would suggest yes to both, as child porn is child porn, but are you seriously telling me you'll be able to prevent it?)
No. You have to hold the individual accountable. We cannot protect our own real life streets, let alone the infinite ones on the 'web.
Tubesteak says:
"can we be said to be guilty of committing a heinous crime or, as Muirhead argued, has the net become a place where vulnerable people will inevitably become victims of destructive human curiosity?"
I would argue "yes" and "stiff". Regardless of your motivations it's still a crime. You're also adding to the demand. No different to someone that downloads the stuff so they can have a bat.
"shouldn't society be setting up some kind of mechanisms for getting help to these people before they damage themselves and contribute to an evil online human commerce?"
No, we shouldn't waste money on people that can't HTFU and learn a bit of self-control.
" But we are never given any guidance or training in how to manage the awesome power for good or evil encapsulated on the web"
Proof that common sense isn't that common. Do the crime, do the time.
"I think it is time government regulators and educators stepped up their efforts to at least give people the tools to make wise decisions online"
No, we don't need more government interference in our lives. We don't need a nanny state. We don't need an internet filter. We don't need someone to hold our hand all the time. Grow up.
stephen says:
Seems inefficient economics in sentencing for a Judge to determine a maximum sentence, then subtracts jailtime through mitigating circumstances so that, at the end, a culprit get 3 months inside.
Better that they argue for a minimum sentence, which they must apply once a charge has been proven, then add on punishment time for aggravating circumstances.
Gives a person's bad behaviour a whole new perspective.
Craig says:
Downloading and storing thousands of images of child pornography on your computer for later viewing goes beyond curiosity,
The government doesn't need to step in to help these people. We have laws to put them away.
If people cannot seek help from the many channels alreasy available or control their impulses themselves they move from the social system to the criminal system.
Governments don't exist to create a perfect society. We have to do that ourselves, and let government take care of the details that companies and communities won't

Lol at 'not receiving training' on what not to download from the web…you should be a defence lawyer.
Anna C says:
This case has been very shocking. I used to watch 'Collectors' and he always seemed such a nice boy. Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving.
read the article! says:
The point being made here is just how easy it is these days to access such material. The author makes it clear that Andy stepped way over the line and deserved to be punished, but the bigger point here is that this material is now everywhere online - and even kids are able to access it - sometimes by accident.
I don't think its too much to ask that we find some ways to educate people about what is out there, how to avoid it, and the potential consequences if it is accessed. And I agree the government and the education system should have a role in doing so.
That is the key point being made here… why is it not possible to discuss this without people jumping to ridiculous moralising tones…
TheRealDave says:
Child Pornography is wrong. Morally, legally and ethically wrong. End of story. No excuses. You know it, I know it and this arsehole knew it. Anyone with a half functioning brain knows it. Any alleged adult in our modern society who has had a modern education knows it. There are no 'mitigating circumstances'. There is no responsibility or onus on anyone else other than the scumbag perpetrator of this crime - Andrew Muirhead.
Sadly, they'll throw him in with a bunch of other protected rockspiders and swap 'war stories' and fuel each others fantasies.

This is a war. It's been going on for generations. If you're lucky, it will be your generation that ends it…
At least that's what the young ones are told before they turn eighteen. At that age they become fair game, and must kill or be killed in a secret war between two distinct sides—one good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. Hidden in plain view, the battles are fought through assassinations disguised as accidents or the work of senseless thugs.
Joseph has a particular talent for such killings. Never questioning an order, all he needs is a name. But when a job goes wrong and he's sent away on a punishingly dangerous assignment, he meets a girl. Her name is Maria. And for the first time Joseph has a reason to live…outside the war.
Now Joseph must run from those who fought by his side, quickly discovering that the only thing more dangerous than fighting the war is attempting to leave it.

Chinese New Year: Which animal hides in your heart?
Welcome to the year of the snake.
The Chinese calendar turns over on Sunday, Feb 10— welcome to the Year of the Snake. A child born under the Snake sign grows to be philosophical, intuitive, and elegant — but may also be something of a procrastinator, and unduly suspicious of others.Because China switched over to the Gregorian calendar we use early in the 20th century, the celebrations around Chinese new year are now more widely referred to as Spring Festival, Lunar New Year, or Chun Jie. While our stateside new year's eve traditions amount to a single night of debauchery followed by a nasty headache, Spring Festival is a week-long tradition of homecoming and good wishes. Its origins, though, are a few shades darker.
Greetings: Send an eCard for Chinese New Year
In Chinese mythology, the new year was something to fear. Nián, which means "year," was a mythical beast with a body like an ox and the head of a lion. On the last day of each year Nián would emerge to wreak havoc, going town to town on a human-devouring rampage. According to the myth, though, people learned that Nián was afraid of fire, loud noises, and the color red — giving way to a new year's tradition of fireworks, lantern-lighting, and decorating homes with red chun lian, the banners of Chinese calligraphy that adorn doorways and spell out poetic wishes for prosperity. Red is the color of good fortune, too, which is why it's so prominently featured in Chinese culture.

Each lunar year of the Chinese calendar is associated with an animal. An old saying holds that "this animal hides in your heart," according to your year of birth. And while it may not seem so great, in Western terms, to have a rat or a pig in your heart, Chinese tradition sees both honorable and dubious traits in each animal — the yin and yang of every spirit.

Note that the lunar years are cyclical and generally start in late January or early February, so the years for each zodiac sign don't quite line up with our own calendars. If you're born in January, chances are that you actually fall under the zodiac above the one showing your year of birth.

New Resources Help Pilots, Instructors Meet New Practical Test Standards
June 21, 2012 - The FAA Safety Team has released an updated advisory circular for flight review and instrument proficiency check, and added a new appendix to the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK) to help pilots and instructors prepare for new Practical Test Standards (PTS).
The new PHAK appendix chapter, Runway Incursion Avoidance, includes all the information that pilots will be tested and checked on during their private or commercial PTS effective as of June 1, 2012. Until the new chapter is officially released, it can be reviewed on the FAA Safety website.
Revised AC 61.98B, Currency Requirements and Guidance for the Flight Review and Instrument Proficiency Check, will help aviators become proficient in what is required today to ensure the safety of flight.
The FAA strongly encourages both pilots and flight instructors to review these new materials.

Also interesting last week was the President's response to a question at his press conference about some Benghazi survivors being told not to speak about the affair. The President responded by saying he had no knowledge of such an event and would get back to the press with answers.
Incredibly enough, the day after the President's press conference, the FBI released photos of three persons that were suspects in the Benghazi incident. This is merely the tip of the spear of the on-going FBI investigation.
These latest developments again call into question the previous assertions made by the President, Secretary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice. For weeks after the September 2012 incident, all three of these people were sticking to the anti-Muslim video story. When Hillary Clinton was interrogated under oath on Capitol Hill, her most famous response was, "What does it matter?" What was supposed to be an inquiry to get to the bottom of the Benghazi affair rapidly turned into a love fest by the Democratic portion of the Committee. Almost every one of the Dems used their allotted time to compliment Clinton on her running of the State Department for the past four years. Clinton for her part had previously stated that the buck on Benghazi stopped at her desk. This was an obvious ploy to absolve Obama of any blame that might seriously hamper his Presidential bid at the time.
Currently, to add to the confusion, several of the CIA operatives who were rescued from the conflagration at the time of Benghazi have recently sought legal representation to permit them to testify before Congress.
For his part, the new Secretary of State John Kerry has been toeing the line that had previously been drawn by his predecessor. While he himself has stated that he has spoken to one or more of the survivors, he has given no information as to what he learned from them.
The push for a elect committee is mainly trumpeted by Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham. Such a Committee would have the power to gain access to information that has so far been denied to previous committee hearings.
The long running cover-up of Benghazi certainly has put the Nixon/Watergate cover-up in second place. Nixon did his best to utilize various components of government, including his office, to hide what was a simple break in. Remember nobody died at Watergate.

In many ways Dorchester, the Casterbridge of Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge, is a traditional southern country town. The town owes much of its fame to its connection with Hardy, whose bronze statue looks westward from a bank on Colliton Walk. He was born in a cottage in the hamlet of Higher Bockhampton, about 3 miles northeast of Dorchester. "Hardy country" includes a number of hidden-away villages in the rolling hills of Dorest. Two important historical sites, as well as his former residence, are a short drive from Dorchester.
Dorchester has many reminders of the Roman presence in the area. The Romans laid out the town about AD 70, and a stroll along Bowling Alley Walk, West Walk, and Colliton Walk follows the approximate line of the original Roman town walls. On the north side of Colliton Park lies an excavated Roman villa with a marvelously preserved mosaic floor. The high street was tranquil in Hardy's day, but today it's usually busy with vehicle traffic. The tourist office has walking itineraries that cover the main points of interest along quieter routes and help you appreciate the town's contemporary character.

Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix - GWP $0.00
Silence. That's all Dr. Allen Lim heard when he knew he had arrived at a solution. No longer were his Garmin riders complaining of the headaches and bloated stomachs that had plagued them for so long. Lim had spent countless hours mixing formulas in buckets to create not a product, but a solution that was informally dubbed Secret Drink Mix, or SDM. Why a secret? Because word had spread through the peloton that Lim had perfected a hydration solution that was effective and delicious, and it led to many pros pouring out the electrolyte-heavy, overly sweetened beverages provided by their sponsors and replacing it with Lim's contraband. Fortunately for us, the secret is out, and Lim is offering this pro-developed and battle-tested solution to the world. It's now called the Exercise Hydration Mix, from Lim's Boulder, Colorado-based Skratch Labs.
Unlike many sports drinks, which are formulated around electrolyte or caloric replenishment during physical exertion, the Exercise Mix focuses on keeping your body's sodium levels carefully regulated. Lim discovered that the rampant headaches plaguing his pro riders were not induced by a lack of fluids, but rather, a lack of sodium -- a very typical symptom of dehydration. Essentially, your kidneys regulate fluid retention based on the body's concentration of sodium. When sodium concentration is high, your body is forced to hold on to that fluid to dilute it. But when your sodium levels get too low (ie: through sweat loss), the opposite happens and your kidneys must expel that fluid.
Lim's mix is designed to keep your body's sodium balance carefully regulated, maintaining hydration while also slowing diuresis. With diuresis slowed, you'll be able to pre-hydrate and drink more before a race without needing to make those three inopportune bathroom breaks right before your call-up. If these concepts around a sodium-based formula sound familiar, that's because they are -- Lim's drink mix contains nearly four times the amount of sodium in many convenience-store sports drinks, putting it on par with emergency-grade rehydration salt formulas like Pedialyte, and those used by the World Health Organization to combat severe dehydration.
The athletes that helped Lim develop the Exercise Mix weren't just complaining of headaches. They were also suffering from severe stomach bloating and flavor fatigue. The second half of Lim's solution was to ensure his drink was easy and pleasurable to consume day in and day out. To accomplish this, every ingredient from the Exercise Mix is naturally occurring or naturally sourced from real fruit, which ensures you're not putting anything in your body that's been chemically formulated or enhanced. In short, if it wasn't here on this earth before you were, Dr. Lim and his team refused to use it.
The ingredients are: sucrose, glucose, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, freeze dried fruit, citric acid (a natural preservation agent from pure lime juice), and ascorbic acid. Notice the pronounced absence of the 'natural flavors' found in so many other sports drinks. Part of what makes the Exercise Mix so uniquely palatable even during prolonged periods of exercise and constant re-hydration is the lack of a savoring agent. Generally, chemically-derived flavoring agents like those ominous 'natural flavors' tend to remain on your palate, causing flavor fatigue, and in larger doses, wreak havoc on your gut.
The Exercise Mix uses real lemons, limes, oranges, and raspberries, which are freeze-dried and pounded into powder. This creates a refreshing, super-clean flavor that's easy on your stomach without a lingering aftertaste that wears out its welcome halfway into your race. It means you're not just getting a 'flavor' of lemon or orange, you're getting actual lemons and oranges in the mix. This is one of the many fundamental breakthroughs behind the Skratch Labs drink mixes. Whether you're staying hydrated during a 24-hour endurance race, or re-hydrating after a grueling criterium, they simply taste great.
Lim and his team created two drink mixes, optimizing each for different levels of physical exertion. This Exercise Hydration Mix has a slightly higher salt content, making it Skratch Labs' on-bike mix, best used for periods when your heart rate is up and you're sweating. Because this mix has a supremely high absorption rate and is not a natural diuretic, it's excellent as a preventative measure against dehydration while you ride, when you stop at an aid station, or immediately after your workout or race, because you can drink a larger volume of it at a time without painful bloating. This is due in part to the drink's exceptionally low levels of acidity, and lack of chemically-enhanced flavors.
The Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix is available in Lemon Lime, Orange, or Raspberry. Each one-pound package should provide approximately twenty (23 grams dry), 500ml servings.

I tried this with luke warm water; not a good idea. I then tried it with boiling water; let cool while I got ready for my ride. Put on top of water bottle and it was fantastic. I kept looking for the rum to spike it with. Great idea and kept me warmer than usual.

About the Felderkrais Method
The Feldenkrais Method® of movement and learning develops your capacities for self-improvement. At one level it provides a richer vocabulary of movement. It also develops abilities to direct and to broaden attention to the domains of physical sensation. Instead of teaching "correct" movements we will explore how to experiment with variation and refinement of any action you undertake. A clearer internal sense of how you organize yourself for action supports reduction of unnecessary and inefficient effort. This leads gradually, and more and more, to less pain or fatigue and to more comfort and effectiveness.
Each class will be organized around verbally guided Awareness Through Movement® lessons (ATM), which may involve lying or sitting on the floor, sitting on a chair or standing. Please bring something you will be comfortable lying upon, plus a bath towel that can be rolled or folded, and wear clothes that do not restrict full movements. This work is designed and done to allow participation by everyone, taking time to identify all necessary individual variations in movement or position. It turns out that each of these is useful for everyone.
We will have time for questions and discussion before, during, and after the lesson. We are especially interested in conversation about how to integrate our work with musicians' practice time.
About the instructors
Russ Hall has live in Cleveland Heights since 1977 and practiced physical therapy from 1977 to 2012. He has been a certified Feldenkrais practitioner since 2001, completing the transition to a fully Feldenkrais practice in 2012. His first contact with the Feldenkrais Method® was a public workshop by Moshe Feldenkrais in late 1981. Eventually, this led to the four-year training, co-directed by Paul and Julie Casson Rubin, 1976 graduates of the first American training. He has always worked with people of many different backgrounds, conditions, interests and needs.
Samantha Basford Damoulakis, founder of Cleveland Movement LLC, is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® (2011) with 17 years of experience in movement studies as a professional ballet dancer and teacher. Engaging in Feldenkrais began abruptly when needing to address a serious back injury. However, as a fantastic by-product of her learning, Samantha realized Feldenkrais decreased her pain and improved her technique, artistry and coordination. For sharing this learning platform with her students, she maintains a private practice in Shaker Heights and has taught specialized workshops for artists, pregnant moms and anthropologists.

Staph bacteria linger deep in our noses
Janice Haney Carr/CDC
Humans' noses may have hidden crevices where the bacteria that cause staph infections like to hang out.
Scientists knew that the nose was a primary reservoir of Staphylococcus aureus. But a deeper look within the nasal cavity revealed previously unidentified spots that harbored the potentially dangerous bacteria. The discovery could explain why some people only get rid of staph microbes for a short amount of time when treated, researchers report December 11 in Cell Host & Microbe.
The team also found that when more of the bacteria Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum was present in the nose, there were fewer S. aureus microbes. C. pseudodiphtheriticum may make a molecule that blocks the growth of S. aureus and, if identified, could lead to the development of a new drug to treat or prevent staph infections.

Last week the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation fined Morgan Stanley DW Inc. $435,000 for improper sales and business practices. Among other practices, the bureau focused on the company's "improper use of sales incentives."
In the consent agreement reached with Morgan Stanley, the bureau cited the company with holding sales campaigns that focused on certain proprietary funds, "while offering compensation schemes that are not permissible under state and federal securities guidelines." One sales campaign was a "Steak-a-thon," where agents were awarded steaks for sales of certain Morgan Stanley proprietary funds.
The same New Hampshire office is also seeking $17.5 million in penalties from American Express Co., alleging that it illegally steered clients towards under-performing proprietary funds. Some of the sales contests cited include a free one-year lease of a Mercedes Benz automobile for advisors who sold the most American Express funds.
On a national level, NASD (formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers) regulations prohibit broker-dealers from rewarding noncash compensation for sales of specific funds or annuities, and has cracked down on illegal sales contests over the past two years. According to a spokesman, NASD will be reexamining its sales contest regulations in meetings later this spring.
For information on the NASD go on to its Web site at www.nasd.org.

Jatropha: Exposing the New Threats to Africa's Agriculture
Friends of the Earth Ghana held an event on May 28, 2009, condemning the procurement of African lands by foreign companies for the production of the 'wonder crop' Jatropha.
At the recent Jatropha World Summit in Ghana government ministers and big business promoted the large scale export and production of the crop in the capital's La Palm Beach Hotel. Meanwhile in rather less salubrious surroundings a one day side event shone a critical light on the so called miracle crop.
The side event held by Friends of the Earth Ghana was called 'Jatropha: Exposing the New Threats to Africa's Agriculture' and focused on debunking the myth of Jatropha as a miracle crop as well as condemning the idea that Africa has large chunks of wasteland waiting for someone to put them to use.
Jatropha is being pushed as one of the new miracle crops for African small farmers to produce fuel and dig themselves out of poverty. The reality is that agrofuel developments are firmly controlled by Northern companies which are taking over land at an incredible pace, and are bringing about serious socio-economic and environmental impacts on our communities, food security, forests and water resources.
The side event was attended by representatives of Friends of the Earth groups from Ghana, Nigeria and Togo, as well as consumer groups, Ghanaian NGOs and the media. Participants discussed their frustration at the acquisition of African land by foreign companies and raised the question of who decides what is marginal land and what is not.
Nnimmo Bassey, Chair of Friends of the Earth International, told the participants that he hoped the summit would cause business tycoons and government officials meeting in Accra to stop and think about their actions.
"Africa is being so severely challenged and is routinely characterised as the sick continent of the world," he says, "it is a challenge to the peoples of Africa to rise up and resist any move that will severely impact our ability to meet our food needs, further add problems to the land tenure difficulties and further project the continent as a land that is good only for exploitation."
"The time has come for Africa to focus on renewable energy and strive for energy sovereignty," Nnimmo says.

HBO Production Filmed in Maryland
ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 8, 2012) - Governor Martin O'Malley today released the following statement regarding the premiere of "Game Change," the HBO movie filmed in Maryland.
"HBO and Maryland have had a long and successful partnership in the making of award-winning productions," said Governor O'Malley. "We were pleased to welcome HBO back when it chose to film 'Game Change' here in Maryland. The production helped create over 1,200 jobs for local production crew, actors and extras. As a result of the exceptional efforts of the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development and the Maryland Film Office, Maryland has developed a strong relationship with companies like HBO that provide jobs here in Maryland and support local businesses. I look forward to watching the premiere of Game Change this Saturday as it will showcase the outstanding work of Maryland's talented film technicians and actors."
"Game Change" follows John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, from his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate to their ultimate defeat in the general election. Based on the bestselling book of the same name by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, the film is directed and executive produced by Jay Roach and written and co-executive produced by Danny Strong. "Game Change" features Academy Award nominated actress Julianne Moore as Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
The film had an economic impact of $27 million dollars and created over 1,200 jobs for the production's cast and crew. "Game Change" premieres this Saturday at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.

1448 Burlingame Ave, Burlingame, CA | Directions 9401037.577251 -122.349171
Neighborhoods: Downtown
PHENOMENAL!!! – OMG.... this place freakin' ROCKS!!! First of all, let me start by stating my in-laws are the owner-operators of a mexican restaurant in Santa Barbara that has been featured and reviewed by major publications accross the country for their authentic, and excellent Mexican food, so I am no stranger to good Mexican cuisine, All I can say is this place is my new favorite mexican restaurant!!! The Margaritas, excellent, Guacamole, ranks right up there with mine (hehe, my guac is AWESOME!!!). Everything my wife and I had was shockingly good. We didn't expect much walking in; in fact, we found it by accident, but we left feeling like we had found a gem. Even the service was fast and friendly! On a side note, the servings are NOT small, so go ahead and share.., which leaves more room for margaritas, HELL YEAH!!!
What happened? – I don't know what the problem is here because the Hola in Belmont is delicious down to the salsa and margaritas. But the Burlingame location is a totally different story the salsa is as flavorful as a shoe sole and the margaritas are so icy you would need a pipe to take a sip. The wait staff is abrupt and at times unattentive. The food I ordered tasted bland, but I am not the type to not give a second chance so I tried it again and it almost seemed worst the last time. I gave it two stars because I think it is a great meeting place for drinks with friends after work or a starting place; just make sure to avoid the salsa and order the marg on the rocks to avoid major brain freeze. Eat at your own risk.
Worst Service in Burlingame – Service was inept, disorganized and slow. Food is good but in no way worth the wait and hassle. Would not send my worst enemy.
Hola! Mexican Resturant is super!!! – It is truly the most unique Mexican Restaurant on the Peninsula. We enjoy the atmosphere, the service is great when not crowded and the food is super delicious... we especially enjoy ordering the "Nachos Mexicanos," it is to die for.
Great Crab Enchiladas – Wonderful atmosphere. Food is fabulous, affordable. The crab enchiladas are to die for!
The fresh peach cake is heaven. The staff is busy, and sometimes a little slow, but extremely friendly!! If its crowded you know its good! If you have to wait an extra few minutes for anything, its worth it!
Muchas Gracias – This is the best Mexican restaurant on the peninsula (that I've found anyway). The food is great and they make great margaritas. I have nothing but good experiences here. One bad thing, it is usually really busy so the waiters are not very attentive.

Fun and Focus Are Keys to the Busy Life of Heather O'Reilly
Nov 20, 2006
Heather O'Reilly is a young lady with many masters.
First there is school, as she is working hard to earn enough credits to graduate in four years at the University of North Carolina, no small feat for an athlete, never mind someone with the travel schedule of a U.S. Women's National Team player.
Then there is college soccer, which will soon be over for the college senior, but the Tar Heel's memorable season has consumed her time and focus over the past four months.
Then there is the U.S. Women's National Team, where she has earned 50 career caps and helped win an Olympic gold medal in 2004.
Of course, there is also her family and social life. Hey, a girl just wants to have fun, right? Especially O'Reilly, a free-spirit whose humor and zest for life are just two of her many endearing qualities.
So how does the 21-year-old balance the many tugs on her time, energy and emotions? Instead of stressing about the complications of her busy life, O'Reilly has found a way to break it down and keep it simple.
"I guess the best way I can describe it is that I try to live in the moment," said O'Reilly, who joined the U.S. training camp last Sunday in preparation for the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup semifinal on Nov. 22. "Wherever I am, I'm trying to be 100 percent there in the moment and do what ever I am doing to the fullest."
Not a small task for a hyper college student who admits to having just a tad of ADD.
O'Reilly arrived in Los Angeles from Chapel Hill, where she scored a goal in helping the Tar Heels defeat Tennessee, 6-2, in an NCAA Third Round match last weekend. The Heels lost their first game of the season to Texas A&M, but since have reeled off 24 straight victories, and will now play a NCAA Quarterfinal match on Nov. 25 against, that's right, Texas A&M. Revenge will be in the air on the North Carolina campus.
But first O'Reilly will try to help the USA qualify for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. Should she be selected to the World Cup Team next fall, it would be her first Women's World Cup after missing out on the 2003 tournament due to a broken leg when she would have likely made the squad as its youngest player.
O'Reilly participated in the USA's 2006 Residency Training Camp from April through the end of August at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., keeping up on her school work through internet classes and some patient professors. (The education major has completed her coursework and is just 15 credits short of graduation, which will be fulfilled through a semester of student teaching, although she has no idea when she will be able to get back to Chapel Hill to do that). The intensity of full-time training with the U.S. team was something she embraced, but it also necessitated a shift in mentality when she returned to campus last August.
"In the summer, I focused so much on the Women's National Team and trying to make a statement on that team that I didn't put too much thought into coming back to school, although I was excited about my senior season," said O'Reilly, who has scored nine goals with 15 assists for the Heels this year despite being a marked woman in every match. "I came back (to Chapel Hill) and my focus completely shifted. I got way more into everything here than I thought I would."
As a senior leader on the team, O'Reilly's role from the U.S. team literally flipped 180 degrees.
"I think that when you are in training with the national team, it's easy to get focused on yourself, especially when the U.S. team is not in a big tournament like the Olympics, World Cup or Algarve Cup," said O'Reilly. "You are concerned about your own play, earning a position, earning playing time. It's easy to get totally involved in yourself and how you are performing.
"Coming over to the college team, you have to leave a lot of that at the door. You have to first and foremost be concerned with the well-being of the team overall. That's been a change for me. I hold myself totally accountable and responsible for my own performance, but I am putting the team before myself and I don't think I have necessarily had that mindset before."
O'Reilly has also embraced college life this semester, even more so as she knows she has precious little time left on campus.
"I'm just really enjoying the academic scene," she said. "I love going to Starbucks with my roommates and studying for hours upon hours and hanging out on campus, talking to people in between classes and seeing other girls from the soccer team. It's hard to compare as I haven't hung out at other schools too much, but UNC has an incredible atmosphere and when you are away from it, you forget about it. Chapel Hill is a special place and I guess I am really enjoying every moment because this is my last hurrah here."
After the USA's match on Wednesday, Nov. 22, O'Reilly will return to Chapel Hill to prepare for the clash with the Aggies on Nov. 25. Whether she hops right back on a plane to Los Angeles for the USA's Women's Gold Cup match on Nov. 26 is up in the air, but of course, O'Reilly is not focusing on that just yet.
"I am definitely looking forward to the next couple of weeks," she said. "I think I'm really trying to stay focused on what's important, and for me, I just have to look at the next task at hand. Last weekend it was Tennessee, next up is Mexico, and after that is Texas A&M. My heart is into whatever I am doing, I can't look past anything. I just have to stay focused on what's in front of me, get some good rest and take care of my body. If I do that, I will really have a fun next couple of weeks."

Soft Structured Carriers
Ergo Baby Carrier
" My husband and I are anti-"baby bucket." Everyone these days seems to carry their baby around in a plastic bucket with a handle, holding her at shin height and putting her on the floor for convenience.

One nice thing is that she could face out in the front carrying position but I don't think these type..." --Andrea Kim

The statewide general reassessment begins July 1, 2010 for the 2012-pay-2013 property taxes.
During statewide general reassessments, county and township assessors physically inspect each property to ensure that records are correct. Inspection accomplishes the gathering of data to value the property. For example, does the property still have a free-standing garage and an in-ground pool? Is the building on this property still 1,200 square feet or has it increased or decreased in size? By confirming this information, assessors can ensure properties are properly valued.
